fighter-bomber
Versatile attack aircraft
A fighter-bomber is a military aircraft designed to perform both air-to-air combat and ground attack missions.
Unlike specialized fighters or bombers, it combines maneuverability with the capacity to carry bombs or missiles against surface targets: The squadron's fighter-bombers struck enemy positions before engaging interceptors.
